Become a Christian

Jan 15

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

—Psalm 61:2

When you become a Christian, it doesn’t mean that you will live on a perpetual “high.” The Psalmist David went down to the very depths, and so did the Apostle Paul. But in the midst of all circumstances God’s grace, peace, and joy are there. The tears will still come, the pressures will be felt, and so will the temptations. But there is a new dimension, a new direction, and a new power in life to face the circumstances in which you live.

David recovered all

January 14
“And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: … And there was nothing
lacking to them, neither small nor great … David recovered all” (1 Sam. 30:18, 19).”
When we fail God and do things against His will we are bound to suffer. But David came back
to his senses and consulted God. As a result, “David recovered all”.
Like David we also make many mistakes. Even though we are born again, and have been
tasting His love, and have learned how to find His will, yet sometimes we also fail to seek the
will of God and do things instead in our own wisdom. Those who should be your friends may
turn against you when you go wrong. But by coming back to your Lord, and doing His will,
you are washed and forgiven and covered. You can rejoice that God has forgiven your folly
and that you can again be used by Him; and your heart will be filled with the great joy of
restored communion and answered prayer.
